French shipyard OCEA has delivered the fourth unit in its 32.7-metre OCEA Commuter 108 series, named Araok II. According to BOATPro, the yacht is now anchored near Marseille, France.
The Pierre Frutschi design has been customised to meet the specifications of its owner, which include the ability to cross oceans and to travel freely through emission control areas designated by the International Maritime Organization, such as the North American coasts, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
According to the yard, "reducing the boat’s environmental footprint was the guiding principle behind the entire design."
The yacht also meets the owner's expectations in terms of equipment and the on board use of space, with a wide swim platform providing access to the lazarette. Accommodation is for eight guests in five cabins housed within the yacht's 6.8-metre beam, with complement for a crew of four.
The twin 600BHP IMO Tier III-compliant engines can reach top speeds of 15 knots, with a range of 4,000 nautical miles at an economical speed of 10 knots. The yacht is also equipped with the “latest generation of batteries”, allowing it to cruise at night without the need for generators.
Araok II began construction in the summer of 2021 at OCEA's shipyard in Les Sables-d’Olonne, France.
